Pad Krapow and Detroit's Best Thai Food at a Buddhist Temple — Cooking in America

Cooking in America is in Detroit, and host Sheldon Simeon makes his first stop at the Midwest Buddhist Meditation Center, a temple established in 1995 as the first and only Buddhist center in Detroit. In the courtyard, Sheldon tries out Detroit's best Thai food including a spice pad krapow.

Phenwipha Nelson works as a waitress, and she learned how to cook both from her mother and from culinary school training in Thailand. Her pad krapow is a favorite of the Sunday market that happens bimonthly at the Center, and she made it two-ways for Sheldon - with pork and with seafood.

Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more — it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

I was born in Warren, 8 Mile and Ryan, and moved away in 1986. My family would have definitely been regular visitors to this temple had it been around then. It would have been great to meet more Thai and Lao people then.
